March 29, 2014 The Inge Digital collection in KU ScholarWorks contains scholarly conference papers presented at the annual William Inge Theatre Festival, held at Independence Community College, in Independence, KS. The Independence Community College library is the curator of the William Inge Collection, home of over 400 manuscripts by William Inge donated primarily by Inge and his family, as well as press clippings, memorabilia and books. Arthur Kopit: Inveterate Analyst of Frail Human Minds By Jeff Loomis Presented at the William Inge Theater Festival 2014 2 Arthur Kopit: Inveterate Analyst of Frail Human Minds ”Wings,” produced in 1979 to high acclaim, is a key work in Arthur Kopit’s dramatic canon. In preparing this poignant transcription of one character’s efforts to conquer the debilitation caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, Kopit researched much medical data, after first having confronted his own father’s stroke and resultant death (“Wings” 142-143). Indeed, some critics have surmised that Emily Stilson, the central character of “Wings,” also dies, after enduring her second stroke, at the culmination of her drama’s plot (Simon 78, Rosen 78). The conclusion of the play seems ambiguous to me, though, and the drama surely strives, through much of its action, to demonstrate the slow, but apparently sure, dimensions of a recuperation that Emily Stilson had known, at least for a time. Meanwhile, of course, she did suffer (and we thus see dramatized) abundant personal anguish.

  • Kopit's Metatheatrical Experience From, Oh Dad, Poor Dad Through
    Kopit's Metatheatrical Experience From, Oh Dad, Poor Dad through The Hero to Indians Dr. Abdullah M. Albetebsy Lecturer of English Literature Department of English- Faculty of Arts Mansoura University 1 When Arthur Kopit (1937) turned to drama in the late 1950s, the American theatre was already undergoing a crisis which "seemed deeper and more irremediable than usual" (Bigsby 249). Tennessee Williams, overwhelmed by personal problems, was steadily declining in power as a playwright; he did not produce works of much importance in the 1960s and the 1970s. Arthur Miller seemed to have lost interest in the theatre, being under the threat of the political persecutions and public conservatism of the decade. America desperately needed a playwright who, according to Bigsby, "would have been invented if he had not existed" (249). However, American playwrights of quality "do exist. The problem is that they are not really welcome on Broadway" (Lewis 167). Though this statement is applicable to Broadway at any time, it was particularly valid during the 1950s and early 1960s when "the economics of Broadway were such that the financial risks were too great to take a chance on an untried talent" (Bigsby 249). It is noteworthy that American drama at the time was advanced by the new theatrical generation with priorities at odds with those of the establishment. It is 2 true O'Neill, Williams and Miller had firmly established a distinctive dramatic tradition-- "a blend of realistic- expressionistic drama with a sharp focus on psychological and social conflicts" (Engler 280). The young dramatists, however, did not regard this type of drama as a model to follow.

  • A BRIEF HISTORY 1974-2020 a THESIS in Theatre Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansa
    THE UNICORN THEATRE: A BRIEF HISTORY 1974-2020 A THESIS IN Theatre Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by SARAH JEAN HAYNES-HOHNE B.F.A., Missouri State University, 2013 Kansas City, Missouri 2020 © 2020 SARAH JEAN HAYNES-HOHNE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE UNICORN THEATRE: A BRIEF HISTORY 1974-2020 Sarah Jean Haynes-Hohne, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2020 ABSTRACT The Unicorn Theatre was originally founded under the name Theatre Workshop in 1974. It was a theatre company formed by three UMKC graduates, Jim Cairns, Rohn Dennis, and Liz Gordon who wanted to create an Off-Off-Broadway theatre in Kansas City. Their work focused on experimentation and using theatre as a political statement for social change. For years, the theatre operated as a community of people who wore many hats and performed many functions. In some ways, this still remains true. However, the theatre made a significant shift in its goals and future when they joined Actors’ Equity Association in 1984 shortly after Cynthia Levin was named Producing Artistic Director. The company has operated out of four different locations over the past 45+ years, but it has been in its current location at 3828 Main Street, Kansas City, MO since 1986. Many expansions and financial campaigns have contributed to the success of the theatre, which now houses two stages, The Levin Stage and The Jerome Stage. The Unicorn Theatre now operates under the vision of producing “Bold New Plays” and thrives on a mission that revolves around inclusion and diversity.
